According to Dean Goodson, Chief Financial Officer, the decrease in revenue and income can be attributed to a slow down in the building services industry in South Florida over the past quarter, and the fact that the quarter ended August 31, 2007 was abnormally high. "We anticipate a slower than normal 2nd quarter and are taking actions to adjust overhead accordingly to maintain profitability." Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by 1% for the 3 months ending August 31, 2007 compared to the same period in the previous year. This decrease in SG&A expense is positive considering the investments we made in our sales forces, recent construction of our new service department, and relocation of our inventories and tools into a smaller consolidated warehouse. We believe these investments along with process improvements have allowed the opportunity to reduce our headcount, while maintaining the service level our customers expect. Considering these factors, the net income for the three months ending August 31, 2007 was consistent with expectations.
